Yep, Canada kept at 80% silver through 1967 for dollars and halves. |

I buy them for full melt plus.
Great coins that have some heft. Buy and enjoy. |

Ask him if he would take $9 each (Better to pay a little over spot than lose the deal.)
Who knows? Maybe they will sell them to you for $9, no harm in asking.
Near me an antiques dealer is selling Candaian Proof Sets for $15, but the silver dollars in the sets are 50% silver (it stated this in the paper that comes with each coin set.)

I change with the times-
but like silver coins found in your change
I stay the same.

That is incorrect.
PL sets from 1967 and earlier are 80% silver and contain 1.1 troy oz. of silver net.
$15 is a fair price for them. |

| It looks like 1965 was a fairly high mintage year for dollars, but the "medium beads, pointed 5" variety apparently goes for more money. You must be logged in to see this link. |

| They were in a set. One of each variety for the year. If I get time this week I will stop in and ask what he would take for them. |
